Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears

Chapter 259: Chapter 259: 30,000 Spirit-Devouring Insect Beasts vs. 100 Mu Family Disciples vs. ?: Slaughter

The moment they watched the ship’s protective barrier shatter, the many Mu Family disciples on board instantly panicked!

“How is this possible? This is an Eighth-Grade Protective Array! How could it just break like that!”

“Quick, get Elder Mu Hong back here!”

The Mu Family had a total of ten Elders.

Eight of those Elders had remained on Hong Kong Island to ambush and kill Gu Yuexi, as well as to handle the Mu Family’s subsequent affairs.

The remaining two Elders were responsible for escorting this ship.

They were Mu Hong, a Seventh-Grade Late Stage, and a Seventh-Grade Middle Stage Array Master who was responsible for maintaining the ship’s Array.

Because the ship was protected by an Eighth-Grade Guardian Array and everything for the journey had been arranged, having only two Elders accompany the vessel was considered reasonable.

At this moment, however, Mu Hong and Mu Wei were not on the ship; they were up ahead confirming the shipping route. Deviating from a charted course while at sea was extremely dangerous.

Just as everyone was starting to panic, a Mu Family disciple named Mu Tian suddenly shouted:

“Wait!”

“Everyone, calm down.”

“Look closely. It seems Gu Yuexi didn’t bring anyone else, just her Contracted Beast?”

The panicked crowd froze and looked closer.

Sure enough, on the vast, dark surface of the sea, there was only Gu Yuexi and that mosquito. The Battle Armor they wore emitted a faint glow, but there was no one else behind them.

No one else could be seen around the ship either.

A moment ago, the group of Mu Family disciples thought they were being pursued by one of the other Nine Great Clans.

’But now they saw it was just Gu Yuexi alone?’

’What was there to be afraid of!’

Mu Tian immediately shouted again:

“Don’t be afraid, everyone! Gu Yuexi came alone with her Contracted Beast.”

“There are nearly a hundred of us here. What’s there to fear!”

“Exactly! No matter how strong she is, there’s no way she can beat so many of us by herself!”

“This is great! We can capture her right now! I can’t believe that talk about making her a War Slave is about to come true so soon!”

“Heh heh, whoever catches her gets to go first!”

These naive disciples of the direct lineage, coddled by their family, were mostly good-for-nothings and, even more so, utter fools. Now, one by one, their fear vanished, replaced by excitement.

In mid-air, Gu Yuexi’s face was ice-cold as she looked at this group of degenerates.

She uttered a single, chilling word.

“Kill.”

Chu Sheng narrowed his eyes.

“BUZZ.”

’So you like having numbers on your side, do you?’

’I may not have people, but I have plenty of beasts!’

Then, in the vast, dark night sky over the sea, streams upon streams—thousands upon tens ofthousands—of densely packed Insect Beasts suddenly appeared!

A full thirty thousand innumerable Insect Beasts materialized from all directions, completely surrounding the ship.

“Holy shit, what the hell are these things?”

The Mu Family disciple who had just been boasting about “going first” froze on the spot, his mouth agape in terror.

The others’ legs went weak right then and there.

A wave of fear ten times more intense than before washed over everyone.

“BUZZ.”

’Kill them all!’

Following Chu Sheng’s merciless command, the tens of thousands of Insect Beasts transformed into a terrifying, man-eating flood and surged toward the people on the ship.

“AHH!”

“Don’t come near me! Get away, get away! Ugh…”

The Mu Family disciple who had boasted about going first bore the brunt of the attack. A hundred Insect Beasts instantly swarmed over his entire body, with some even burrowing into him through his mouth, ears, eyes, and anus!

On the ship, screams rose and fell in waves.

Some of the lower-level Mu Family disciples were torn to shreds on the spot, with no time to even fight back.

Only a few of the older, higher-level members could mount a meager defense before desperately fleeing toward the ship’s cabins.

A full thirty thousand Insect Beasts against roughly one hundred Mu Family disciples—that averaged out to a three-hundred-to-one fight!

This was nothing short of a slaughter!

…

「Meanwhile.」

Out on the sea, Mu Hong and Mu Wei, having received the distress signal, were rushing back frantically.

“What’s happening?”

“I don’t know. They only sent a distress signal, and then nothing. Something must have happened. We need to get back and check.”

Mu Hong’s voice was grim.

“With the Eighth-Grade Protection Array, there shouldn’t be any problems, right?”

“Even if the other Nine Great Clans are chasing us, the Eighth-Grade Protection Array should be able to hold out until the Patriarch and the others arrive!”

Despite saying this, both of them felt extremely uneasy. Fortunately, they weren’t far from the ship.

A few minutes later, Mu Hong saw the ship’s lights in the distance.

’What was that sound?’

The indistinct buzzing of countless Insect Beasts, mingled with faint screams, made both Mu Hong and his companion’s expressions change, and they immediately picked up their pace again.

Soon, they saw the scene on the ship!

It was…

No!

Watching the horrific scene on the ship from afar, Mu Hong’s eyes looked ready to split with rage. He let out a furious roar and charged toward the ship like a madman.

“Save me!!”

A Mu Family disciple who was under siege saw Mu Hong’s figure and stretched out a hand for help!

However, just as Mu Hong was about to reach him,

a figure slammed into him at high speed!

BOOM!

The tremendous impact sent Mu Hong flying, causing him to miss the optimal window to save the disciple. He could only watch helplessly as the Mu Family member was devoured by the Insect Beasts.

And on the ship, this same scene was playing out over and over.

This figure was none other than Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng and Gu Yuexi, each clad in Battle Armor, blocked the path of Mu Hong and Mu Wei.

Mu Hong stabilized himself, his eyes filled with shock and boundless fury as he stared at Gu Yuexi!

“Damn it, Gu Yuexi, why are you here!”

“Get out of the way! Make those damn Insect Beasts get the hell off my ship!”

“Gu Yuexi, you demon, you devil! If you’ve got guts, come after us!”

Mu Hong was trembling with rage.

’Demon? Devil?’

Gu Yuexi gave a cold smile.

“Heh. The moment your Mu Family decided to make a move against me, your fate was sealed.”

“Rest assured, my targets aren’t just these worthless people on the ship. You two will also die today.”

“Not a single person from the Mu Family will get away!”

’The plan was exposed? How?’

’Just a moment ago, a message came from the Patriarch saying they had already trapped Gu Yuexi, yet now she was here.’

Mu Hong had no time to dwell on it. The ceaseless screams from the ship were grating on his nerves.

He couldn’t hold back any longer and let out a great roar.

“You’re courting death!”

A powerful killing intent rose from him as countless Spiritual Attacks surged wildly toward Gu Yuexi and Chu Sheng!

It wasn’t just him; Mu Wei at his side did the same.

These two Mu Family Elders were utterly enraged, vowing not to rest until Gu Yuexi was dead!

One at Seventh-Grade Late Stage, one at Seventh-Grade Middle Stage.

Versus Chu Sheng at Fourth-Grade Late Stage and Gu Yuexi at Fourth-Grade Middle Stage.

There was a gap of three full Grand Realms between them!

Although Chu Sheng had dealt with the Peak of Seventh-Grade Mu Linyuan before, Mu Linyuan’s realm had been forcibly raised. In terms of attack methods, there was still a significant gap between him and these two, Mu Hong and Mu Wei.

Furthermore, when he had insta-killed Mu Linyuan, Chu Sheng had activated his Tenfold Gear.

But the consequences of activating the Tenth-Gear Battle Armor were severe. Chu Sheng wouldn’t do it again unless he had absolutely no other choice.

So, now, facing the attacks of Mu Hong and Mu Wei alongside Gu Yuexi, did he have a way to win?

You’d better believe it!
